You know nothing of wepon balancing.
for one the Pistol is the most noobinsh wepon in the game, i wouldn't mind, if it didnt have such a large clip but hell you can miss half your shots, and still kill the enemy. the FRC, is a noobish wepon to due to its insane splash damage, its like a rocket launcher, that has 50 shots, and hella splash damage.
the assalut rifle needs, more range i mean its meant to be a short to mid range wepon yet it shots break dont travle more then 50 feet before flyingall over the place.
the shotgun does what it should, wtfpwn you at close range, also this is the case with the FT.
the oversheild deplets itself in MP, which it souldnt i mean with all te Pistol toting noobs around, and the spray and pray snipers it shouldnt do that.
Banshee, if not the most unbalanced vehicle in the game, its also a wepon,it mean the driver tkaes almost no to slim damage form everything, plus the fuel rod cannon make, with its hella splash damage, makes it a very very difficult challenge.
the Ghost goes wice as fast as a warthog, and has sticky plasma shots, that slow you to a crawl and you get owned, and its also hard to beat.
well thats about what i have to say about the wepons balancing in HPC.
Actually, the weapons ARE well balanced. With the exception of the needler and plasma pistol, it is quite easily possible to take down any other weapon.
Pistols are very high accuracy weapons, so you need to be able to aim effectively to shoot. If someone can dodge even slightly, a noob will never even hit with a pistol.
The Fuel rod is harder to beat, but usually just staying at long range with a pistol or an ambush round a corner with a frag nade and a shotgun will usually kill em. It's only a problem if the rodder gets into a spawn zone...
Assault rifles are OK at medium-long range if you just don't spray all over the place, they lose all accuracy for that. For close range, if you just hold down the recticule on the enemy, they will die before you even get to half ammo.
Banshee most unbalanced?
1: stick a plasma nade on it.
2: stick a frag nade UNDER it.
3: 2 clips or less of pistols will kill it.
4: One tank shell will take it down.
5: Ghosts, which are smaller, can dodge more effectively can take down banshees well.
6: USE THE FORCE, LUKE! No, wait. I meant surprise rocket launcher.
7: Shotgun. Death.
etc etc
Plus, it's relatively easy to jump over the wings.
The ghost isn't faster than the warthog. On a straight stretch, the hog is a bit faster, tho yeah the ghost is sometimes a bugger.
Hell, even the needler is ace at shooting people in the back, and plasma pistol is good at taking down shields of vehicles and people.
FRC is going to be in H2, but in it's powered down form. Eh, I prefered the old one, cause it took a bit of skill in killing people who had it.
